The term "derby" possibly originated from the Derby , a horse race in England, founded by the 12th Earl of Derby in 1780. The 19th Earl has since claimed the Derby name was originally only given to one other sporting event: fixtures between St Helens at one end of
112-482: A riot and the suppression of the riot killed tens of thousands of people. Owners have been known to encourage rivalries as they tend to improve game attendance and television ratings for rivalry matches.

Games between two rivals that are based in areas of close geographical proximity are often known as
140-562: Is a river in Derbyshire , England. It is 50 miles (80 km) long and is a tributary of the River Trent , which it joins south of Derby .

However, the river has also seen many human uses, and between Matlock and Derby
168-626: Is also fed by the River Westend , whilst Ladybower Reservoir is also fed by the River Ashop . The former confluences of the two tributaries with the Derwent are now submerged below the respective reservoirs. Further south, the Derwent passes the village of Bamford , where it is joined by the River Noe . Below this confluence, it flows through Hathersage , Grindleford , Calver and Baslow , and through

#1732848210666336-543: The Derwent is still harnessed at a number of these historic mill sites, producing hydro-electricity from turbines instead of driving mill wheels, with a recent development being the construction of a hydro-electric station at Longbridge weir, adjacent to the Riverside Gardens in Derby. Howden and Derwent Reservoirs in the upper valley were both completed in 1916 to supply the cities of Sheffield , Nottingham , Derby, and Leicester . The adjacent Ladybower Reservoir
364-572: The Derwent, the former as far as Ambergate and the latter as far as Rowsley. The Sheffield line still operates as part of the Midland Main Line , but the Manchester line was severed north of Matlock in 1968, and the section from Ambergate to Matlock now forms the Derwent Valley Line , a single-track branch line. Between Ambergate and Cromford, the river, road and railway are also paralleled by
392-624: The Peak District National Park, whilst the middle reaches around the old spa town of Matlock Bath offer souvenir shops and amusement arcades, together with attractions such as the Heights of Abraham and its cable car . Derwent is derived from Brittonic river name * Deruentiū , Latinised as Deruentiō , meaning "(belonging/pertaining to the) forest of oak trees"; the old river name survived in medieval Welsh poetry, such as Peis Dinogat (" Dinogad's Smock ") attached to
420-412: The case of El Clásico with tensions between fans with a background of political differences. Frequent meetings in important games between teams can also lead to unpleasantries.

Guangdong has 11 CBA league titles, more than any other team in history, so it is very evident that they would have a lot of rivalries within
448-506: The drier summer months. Today all these reservoirs are managed by Severn Trent Water . The valley of the Derwent provides an important communications route. Between Derby and Rowsley the valley is followed by the A6 road , which was the main road from London to Manchester until the creation of the motorway network, and is still a busy single-carriageway road. The former Midland Railway 's lines from Derby to Sheffield and Manchester also followed
476-463: The east bank. Some 4 miles (6.4 km) into its journey it passes through three consecutive reservoirs: Howden , the highest, Derwent and Ladybower Reservoir . Derwent Reservoir is named after the now-submerged village of Derwent , which was named after the river. Once past Howden Reservoir, both banks of the river are in Derbyshire, and the river remains in the county to its mouth. Howden Reservoir
504-573: The estate of Chatsworth House , before it is joined by the River Wye at Rowsley . After passing through Darley Dale , the Derwent reaches Matlock , where, at an oxbow, it collects the Bentley Brook .

560-603: The full power of the river to drive their complex machinery. This required the construction of large weirs across the Derwent that still remain as significant features in the riverscape. These sites were all important in the development of the Industrial Revolution , and Arkwright's innovation, along with several local competitors, is recognised today by the designation of the area as the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site . The power of

#1732848210666616-422: The navigation was acquired by the owners of the competing Derby Canal . The river is no longer considered navigable, although the upper river is widely used by kayakers and canoeists who enjoy the fast-flowing water and the slalom course at Matlock Bath . The river was also used to power the many textile mills that were built along the Derwent between Matlock Bath and Derby. Initially, the need for water power
644-616: The villages of Milford and Duffield , where it is joined by the River Ecclesbourne . It then enters the city of Derby near Darley Abbey and flows through the centre of the city. The river ends at Derwent Mouth , between Shardlow and Sawley , where it joins the River Trent at a height of 30 metres (98 ft) above sea level; a total drop of 560 metres (1,840 ft). Its course meanders somewhat, especially in its lower reaches, adding 16 miles (26 km) to its apparent length of 50 miles (80 km). Its waters ultimately reach
672-695: The whole town, often resulting in fatalities. The goals were at Nuns Mill in the north and the Gallows Balk in the south of the town, and much of the action took place in the River Derwent or the Markeaton Brook . Nominally the players came from All Saints' and St Peter's parishes, but in practice the game was a free-for-all with as many as 1,000 players. A Frenchman who observed a match in 1829 wrote in horror, "if Englishmen call this play, it would be impossible to say what they call fighting". Shrovetide football
700-522: Was completed in 1945 to cover increasing demand. Treated water from these reservoirs flows down the 28-mile (45 km) Derwent Valley Aqueduct parallel to the river. The river also indirectly supplies Carsington Reservoir , with the water taken from the river by a pumping station at Ambergate in times of high flow. When flows are low, water is released back into the river via the same 6.5-mile (10.5 km) route of tunnels and aqueducts, thus allowing greater abstraction rates downstream at Little Eaton in
728-526: Was one of the cradles of the Industrial Revolution . It is the site of the Derwent Valley Mills , the first industrial-scale cotton mills . Today it provides a water supply to several surrounding cities, and its steep-sided valley is an important communications corridor through the uplands of the Peak District. The scenery of the Derwent valley attracts many tourists. The upper reaches pass through
756-474: Was quite modest, for example Lombe's Silk Mill in Derby, which is considered to be the forerunner of the later cotton mills , only needed to use the power provided by a small mill stream, and Richard Arkwright 's Cromford Mill , the world's first water-powered cotton spinning mill, only used a small tributary of the Derwent in conjunction with a lead mine sough . The later mills at Belper , Darley Abbey and Masson Mill were much larger and needed to harness
784-807: Was suggested to have been the tipping point in leading to military conflicts. One of the first known sports rivalries occurred in the Roman Empire between the Blues and the Greens, and the minor teams of the Reds and Whites, each of which were chariot racing clubs competing at the Hippodrome in Constantinople . The rivalry took on political tones as well, coming close to deposing the Roman Emperor Justinian in 532 CE in
